"i have been wanting to put a jambalaya recipe on my website for sometime now. today, when i forgot to thaw out some meat, i knew it was time. i was going to use the sausage i had in the meat bin in my fridge. for a minute, i considered waiting to make this recipe with chicken thighs in addition to the sausage but i figured, 'why add more cost when i can make it now?' i have to admit, i did not miss the chicken. the sausage did the trick! i contemplated adding only 1 pack of sausage but i thought i would save a sausage scraping fight at the table between my hubby and 2 boys. my girls could honestly care less. but me? yeah, i would be scraping along with the hubby and my boys. and i would win, too. yup. i sure would! lol. anyway, we loved this recipe. i added the amount of heat that was perfect for my family. oh, and the perfect amount of 'meat' too. :)..."
